PS: Frédéric, you've directed "Halston" and the cult-favorite documentary "Dior and I," where you documented Raf Simon's first collection at Dior. How does "Invisible Beauty" differ from your other works?
Frédéric Tcheng: I think this is the sum of my other projects in many ways; it's biographical, archival, I had testimonials, current-day footage, and phone calls. Every type of material that you could think of. And I was really working with an incredibly vibrant person collaborating with me. In a way, I feel like all the other films that I've done before have prepared me for this one.
PS: Can you tell us about Bethann's curatorial process from your point of view?
FT: Bethann definitely has an eye, and a very particular way that she sees things. It's original and nonconformist. You see it in the way she arranges her homes. I took a lot of time to photograph her homes, the way she arranges the paintings on the wall, books and the objects she's gathered from different parts of her life in Mexico, Morocco, and Anguilla, where she had a store at some point. I loved that collaboration, and she sort of challenged me in a way that I found very exciting.
